[Dr. Eckleburg]

You've worked diligently on this and other threads to polarize the debate by proposing a false dichotomy where there are only two alternatives; capitalism or socialism.

And again you "make it personal."

As Orwell said, some animals are more equal than others. They feel free to break the rules.

Thankfully, the encyclical stands in plain view (unlike so much of Rome) and is available to anyone who wants to wade through its anti-captialism, anti-personal liberty, pro-socialism, pro-authoritarianism, pro-global authority "with teeth."

Anyone who can read section #67 and not be repelled needs to return to a sixth grade civics class for a refresher course in economics, government and history.

Anyone who can read the distortions of the Pope’s words in threads like these and not be repelled needs to crack a book and read again about the propaganda techniques of Josef Goebbels and Saul Alinsky.

And again you "make it personal.

Disagree entirely.

On this and previous threads you've been proposing a false dichotomy. That's fact. I'm not saying "why". Pointing that out is not making it personal.

You've consistently argued that pointing out the weaknesses of capitalism therefore equates to socialism. Wrong. Totally wrong.
